Grace Adayilo, the first female and indigenous Head of Service (HoS) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has passed away.
A highly placed source in the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) confirmed that Adayilo died suddenly in the early hours of Monday.
As of the time of reporting, neither her family nor the FCTA has issued an official statement.
Adayilo’s last official engagement was on Thursday, where she represented FCT Minister Nyesom Wike at the G7 security meeting in Abuja.
Her appointment as FCT’s Head of Service, approved by President Bola Tinubu last October, was a historic milestone, breaking both gender and geographical barriers in the territory’s civil service.
